You have not lived if you haven't got caught in a snow storm. That turned a 10 hour drive into 18 hour drive through hell
Oh come on, it’s not that bad with a Ford. One of the best drives I took was back in college. Of course, it was also well lubricated with a liberal amount of beer, but let me explain… Picked up my buddy in my 89 Eddie Bauer Bronco II and we went up to a fire department gun bash. Mind, I was in Edinboro and the bash was in Erie. No snow on the way in and hadn’t heard of anything really predicted. When they opened the doors at the end of the night, there was a good 6-8” on the ground and coming down hard. We got on the road we wanted before a cop shut it off, mostly because the cop car was having trouble getting anywhere and the ol B2 was paddling right along like I had tracks. Got pretty nasty pretty quick and finally just put ‘er in 4lo and stumped along at a hot 15 mph, blasting through drifts higher than the hood. Thing was a tank.
Mice are a constant battle here. I had one (maybe a family), that would pack the air box of my DD every two days. Finally put a mousetrap in the air box because nothing else was working. Supposedly they don’t like the smell of Irish Spring soap, well, the mice around here seem to enjoy EATING the soap. I set up a bucket trap one year and got over 30 one fall, plus all of the traps. It’s ridiculous.The Amazon guy finally showed up about an hour ago so I just got in from putting the new speakers in the '90, for the first time in over a decade I can put the windows ALL the way down without hitting speakers! After I removed them I'm convinced they weren't doing anything after the windows have hit the magnets so many times over the years, pretty sure the voice coils are sheared off the cones... The sound is nice and crisp, not sure if it's needed but as I said in my other thread, logic doesn't need to make sense
Battery on the '00 Explorer is charged up mostly, this morning I pulled the heater blower on the '98 Explorer since last time I moved it I could tell there was something in the blower so I gave it the ol super spin (knew it was a mouse, it STANK in there). The mouse died from the rotational forces conveniently but there was a dumb amount of insulation in there, bastages... took the shop vac to it and it's good to go now...
, the wire welder is nice but 1/8" 6011 and 7018 will weld 3/8" plate easier than .035 flux core...
And if you get that pesky engine out of the way, you can reach all kinds of places in the engine bay.
